The retailer will receive a bonus of $3,000, or one percent of the prize amount, for selling the winning ticket.

The Illinois Lottery urges the lucky winners to sign the back of the ticket and keep it in a safe place until they call 1-800-252-1775 or visit one of the Lottery’s five Prize Centers, the closest in Fairview Heights. Winners have one year from the original drawing date to claim their prize.
